where wild things have to go...to disappear...forever

so a lot of people say to me...'Smelly you crazy'...and i say - OF COURSE - how boring would life be if i wasn't crazy...

the weekend that is coming up is the BIG rossi family reunion camp out thing in manning park...all 50 of us (thats just uncles, aunts, and cousins) rent a huge cabin and hangout for like 4 days...

this year i have proclaimed it to be CONCERT T-SHIRT WEEKEND...and all (who want to) must wear a concert t-shirt everyday...why? because its cool thats why!

so while visiting with jacob and alexis we discussed our concert t-shirt weekend plans and what would be 'acceptable' as a concert t-shirt...and since we kinda had a limited supply we said it could be anything with band logos on it...

and then we came up with the greatest idea EVER...

back in grade 11 my crazy socails teacher thought it would be rad to show us all the music video to Bruce Cockburns - If A Tree Falls...we all thought it was freakin hilar...one b.c of his clothes and two b.c his name had the word COCK in it...needless to say i kinda liked it and ended up downloading it with a bunch of his other songs...then that kinda died and although i still held bruce close to my heart it was more in an inside joke kinda way...then kinda out of no were earlier this year i got back into bruce, and i asked my crazy rad socials teacher is he had any of his cds (we are cool friends and talk on msn) and he said yea and lent them to me...and so begins the obsession with bruce cockburn...

so alexis told me to make this t-shirt to wear to manning...


i decided to name the tour after the song that started it all for me - IF A TREE FALLS - and all the writing on the shirt has to do with lyrics from the song...

i think i am the only one my age who loves bruce cockburn!

isn't there ANYONE else out there who appriciates his music???

maybe its just the environmentalist in me who does...or the one who loves his crazy 80s guitar riffs...awww brucikins...
